New Ronan gallery occupies former Masonic Lodge
Published: September 10, 2008
The Main Street Gallery, a new fine arts gallery located at 400 Main Street in Ronan, celebrates its grand opening from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Oct. 18.
The gallery is located in the historic Ronan Masonic Lodge, which was vacated in the 1980s when the Ronan Masons joined the Polson Masons. Since then, the Ronan Lodge has been used for many purposes until Martha Suter purchased it and began transforming the space into an art gallery.
Her daughter, Tracy Suter, has since joined her and they have created a 4,500-square-foot art gallery, with additional rooms for special events, and a gift gallery with coffee and pastries available. “The new facility is a keystone asset to Ronan and offers a destination for viewing and purchasing fine Montana art by noted professional artists,” says Tracy Suter.
The mother-daughter duo bring with significant art backgrounds to their new endeavor, and put their expertise to work in presenting special exhibitions.
The opening exhibition includes works by Rich Adams, Robert Akey, Fred Boyer, Janice Brooks, Nancy Cawdrey, Barbara Coppock, Thomas Dean, Patricia Graves, Joe Halko, Ron Jenkins, Charles Ringer, Sue Toppen, Chris Tremain, Ron Ukrainetz, Larry Zabel and many others.
The facility is also available for parties, conferences, workshops, weddings and other events.
